The reference designs offer a cost-effective electronic bill of materials (eBOM) at less than $40 for the IP camera and $60 for the DVR, while also including a full complement of analog ICs, ranging from power management to interface devices from TI. This enables customers to quickly create cost-sensitive products such as IP cameras, IP modules for closed-circuit TV cameras, digital video servers (DVS), DVRs and network video recorders (NVR), reducing development time from approximately 160 man months to only four months (

-- In addition to the DM365 processor, the DVR reference design includes
TI's new TVP5158, a multi-channel video decoder with flexible video
outputs that removes the need for an external mux FPGA solution, thus
reducing system cost.
-- DM365 processor executes simultaneous record, playback, live view,
storage, streaming and display so that customers do not need to add an
additional host processor, thereby further saving on costs and
development time.
-- Multi-channel support with two D1 or eight CIF channels
-- Includes Windows PC-based video management software
-- Royalty-free Linux based DVR application, including source code for
customer specific customization and differentiation
-- Developed with and available from UD Works
